Bempongemma: Welcome to Singapore!Did you read the many posts about finding a job in Singapore? There's lots of good advice already available on this forum!Please note that, even f you are lucky and manage to find a job within your short time here, work visa processing currently takes very long (one to three months!), so you'd have to return to your country or elsewhere in the meantime.

Hi Ashlee5, which neighbourhood did you finally settle in? There are a lot of interesting areas in Singapore but personally, I prefer Tiong Bahru mainly because of the quaint shophouses, hole in the wall restaurants and cafes. Going to key places such as Orchard and Raffles Place is also accessible without having to pay for the more expensive rent price in the said areas.

Hi, I'm Samy and I've just come to Singapore from Canada and I've set up my business here. I enjoy meeting people and I've lived in Singapore before, the US, Kenya and Pakistan.

I welcome any advice that anyone may have to market my English (ESL) and Business English Tutoring services. I've worked with Berlitz in Sg and Toronto and I'm very excited to have started my own business. Would like to meet any other entrepreneurs on this forum to exchange ideas.

Thanks !

Hi everyone!

I'm Jacyln - a Malaysian biotech professional who is in the final stages of securing a job in Singapore.

I have two questions to expats currently working & living in Singapore:(1) when you negotiate for your salary, do you include an additional, say 15%, since there is no CPF provided to expats (except PRs)?(2) what would be the neighborhoods in singapore where there is a community of young (mid 20s to mid 40s) professionals, easy access to various exercise classes & fairly close to nature?

Thanks!

Happy to be in this forum.

Ms.jac, for your query 1, the HR does give additional amount while negotiating salary with you. If X Co. agreed to 6k per month, that means they have added the employer's possible deposit amount (in case you were a citizen or pr, employer contribute its portion into CPF) into your basic.

For query 2, surprise to know that you are a Malaysian but didn't know about Singapore neighbourhood! Relatively, its a city with tiny area so practically you can get easily access to each part of Singapore. You will find small gardens (man made) in many part of the city, depends on your working place, you may select where to stay. Good luck

If you have work pass or PR, local then you can check accommodation section, recently I had posted the details of local sites to search rooms and other details such as agreement letter signing with the land lord, if required etc.

Needed2010: read plenty of threads related to job opportunities here in Singapore forum. Next time write a proper introduction message, giving your experience and which field you are looking for a job. Without giving any head or tail, how you expect someone will advise you?

Before thinking to come here, do a detailed research about job market, and market rules. It’s not easy to find a job in a highly competitive and strict working visa regulated market. Good luck.

I am Enoch, a Liberian by citizenship, from West Africa. I am new hear and would like to meet new people especially from Singapore because, it is my dream destination.

I would like to have an opportunity to travel to Singapore and advance my education (interested in Computer Science). Finding a way to make my dream come truth has always been my number 1 priority since 2015. I hope that with expat.com my dream can come to pass.

My country is a very poor nation that suffered from a civil war for about 14 years. Our literacy rate is low and we are behind technology access.

I am currently attending a local government university in my home (William V. S. Tubman University); where I am studying Computer Science & Engineering but the institution is not up to standard. We only have one professor and four lectures in our department. They are not presenting to my expectation.

I and my Mon can prepare my traveling documents and afford my transportation to Singapore but I would need someone to assist me with living place for some time while I get adjusted to lives in Singapore. ****Thanks.

Enocht: Please do not post your personal contact details here - it can be abused and is thus not allowed on this forum, for your own security!

I can understand where you're coming from. This forum is for exchanging advice (which is free) and could therefore help you achieve your dream. But please refrain from asking for practical things like accommodation here (or elsewhere on the internet) - you will hardly find any honest person offering that to you on the net.Instead, you must find your way yourself: Save enough to support your living costs during the planned course (Singapore is NOT cheap!) or apply for scholarships, secure a place at a Singaporean university of your choice, get a student visa and move to Singapore. Accommodation can be found once you are there - to save money you should try to get a place in a student hostel on campus, if available.

Hello,

I am Sophie.

I am moving to Singapore from the US to work at NUHS for six months.

Does anyone have advice on what supplemental health insurance to get while I am in Singapore? I have health insurance in the United States and some emergency coverage while abroad from my work in the US but I am wondering if I should get additional health insurance in Singapore?
